Installation Instructions

MOTOR WON'T START
1. Check to see if on/o switch or pneumatic switch is in "on" mode.
2. Check for loose connections, blown circuit breakers, GFCI or fuses.
3. With the power o at the circuit breaker, check manually to see
that the motor shaft has free movement and lacks obstruction.
MOTOR CUTS OUT/STOPS
1. Turn GFI breaker o. Check for loose wiring/connections.
2. Check for low voltage at the motor (frequently caused by under-
sized wire). NOTE: GG pumps equipped with automatic reset over-
load protectors and solid state electronics and switches are designed
to eliminate failures caused by mechanical switches and governors.
MOTOR HUMS BUT DOES NOT START
1. Turn GFI breaker o. Check for binding of the motor shaft or
obstruction in pump. Manually rotate motor shaft to see that shaft
turns freely.
2. Check for low voltage and undersized gauge of wire.
PUMP WON'T PUMP
1. Open air control valve to release any possible air lock.
2. Make sure all suction and discharge lines and return port are clear
and unobstructed.
3. Check to see that water is at high enough level for pump to prime.
4. Check for air leak in the suction line - slightly loosen pump union
connector and then re-tighten (by hand).
5. Check for obstructions in the piping system.
SCRATCH REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. For eective scratch removal and polishing, you will need to purchase these items.
1 sheet 1000 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper
1 sheet 1500 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper
1 sheet 2000 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper
1 small container of 3M® rubbing compound
These items can be purchased at most auto supply stores that provide supplies to professional paint and body shops. Call
before you go. Not all auto supply stores will have these items.
2. Start sanding with 2000 grit paper. Use small squares of paper about 2" x 2" for all sanding, and use lots of water. The water
serves as both a lubricant and to prevent residue buildup on the paper. Residue buildup shortens the eective life of the paper
and may scratch the surface you’re trying to polish.
3. 2000 grit paper is the nest grit available (the higher the number, the ner the grit). If you can’t remove all of the scratches
with 2000 grit, switch to 1500 grit. Remember to wash the paper frequently with water as you sand.
4. If all of the scratches can’t be removed with 1500 grit, switch to 1000 grit. This should remove most ne scratches. If you have
deep scratches or a gouge, coarser paper may have to be used (see chart to right). Be careful! Using grit that is too coarse may
actually put in more scratches than it removes.
5. Once you have removed all of the scratches, by sanding with the nest paper possible, repeat the sanding process using
successively ner grits of paper until you’ve once again sanded with 2000 grit.
6. Now use 3M® rubbing compound on a soft, damp cloth. Polish using considerable pressure to produce a
smooth, shiny nish.
LIGHT SCRATCH
1500 – 2000 grit
MEDIUM SCRATCH
1000 – 2000 grit
DEEP GOUGE
600 – 2000 grit
SUPERFICIAL SCRATCH
2000 grit

LOW FLOW
1. Turn GFI breaker o. Check for any obstructions in pump that
impede impeller.
2. Check for low voltage - undersized gauge of wire.
3. Check suction line for obstructions and/or air leaks.
4. Check for obstruction in discharge line.
NOISY PUMP
1. Check for air leak in suction line which can cause “rumbling”
sound.
2. Check for “cavitation” caused by an obstructed or undersized
suction line.
WATER LEAK
1. Turn GFI breaker o. Check union connectors: a) Be sure they are
tight - hand tighten only. b) Inspect O-ring to be sure it is
properly seated and not damaged.
2. Turn GFI breaker o. Water between pump housing and motor:
a) Check the rotary seal to be sure it is clean and without con
tamination on surface.
b) Check seal to see if it is worn or damaged - replace seal if
necessary.
JET OPERATION
1. If your whirlpool has adjustable jets and they are not working
properly you may need to remove the cover and clean o the ex-
cess silicone from wall tting and cover. Then reinstall the jet cover
and then adjust accordingly.
